Russians 'hunt' children with drones in Kherson – ombudsman calls for an end to barbarity

As reported by Ukrinform, Lubinets posted a message on Telegram in which he spoke about a video that had spread on social networks, which showed a boy who had been injured by shrapnel as a result of a Russian drone attack.

The boy said that the occupiers opened fire on him and his friends while they were playing in the street.

“Kherson is constantly subjected to Russian attacks on the civilian population. One of the “entertainments” of the invaders is to pursue civilians with drones and drop explosives on them. This time, the target was children,” the ombudsman noted.

Lubinets emphasized that brutal actions against the most vulnerable categories of people are a gross violation of international humanitarian law.

“The international community must increase pressure on Russia, as every child deserves protection! Impunity only breeds new crimes,” the ombudsman emphasized.

Earlier, activist Sergei Sternenko published a video testimony of the child on Telegram.

“The Russians continue their ‘safari’ on the residents of Kherson,” the report says.

In the video, the boy describes how the enemy “hunted” him and his friends while the children were running from a Russian drone strike.

As reported by Ukrinform, three children were injured as a result of the attack by Russians in Pokrovsk.
